• stable-3.8 - 3.8.x release
• stable-3.7 - 3.7.x release
• …

How to use

Note: commit message for official releases contains both version (e.g. "Version 3.9.235") and git commit hash of the specific release in netxms/netxms ("TAG: 106072975a").

Prerequisites

• Custom jemalloc package should be built from netxms/jemalloc-deb and installed into the system or added to pbuilder chroot.
• For Ubuntu 20, libexosip2-dev deb should be built and installed into the system or added to pbuilder chroot.
• Oracle instant client 18.3 should be unpacked to /opt/instantclient_12_2 (both instantclient-basiclite-linux.x64-12.2.0.1.0.zip and instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-12.2.0.1.0.zip)

Build

mkdir -p netxms-build && cd netxms-build
# install tools and dependencies
sudo apt-get install devscripts
git clone https://github.com/netxms/netxms.git
cd netxms
VERSION=$(git describe|cut -d- -f1,2|sed s,-,.,g)
./reconf
./configure --with-dist
make dist
cd ..
ln -s netxms/netxms-$VERSION.tar.gz netxms_$VERSION.orig.tar.gz
tar zxf netxms/netxms-$VERSION.tar.gz
cd netxms-$VERSION
git clone https://github.com/netxms/packages-deb debian
cd debian
make DIST=`lsb_release -sc` # make debian/rules and debian/control for particular Debian/Ubuntu release
cd ..
# install build dependencies
sudo mk-build-deps -i
rm netxms-build-deps_*_all.deb # clean build tree or dpkg-buildpackage will fail
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove netxms-build-deps # optional step, will cleanup packages installed by mk-build-deps

Build options

Two options can be set as parameters for make when configuring package:

• DIST - distro name
• PROFILE - optional profile for selected distro

Default configurtion is stored in config/default/ (_all.m4 is an entry point).

Distro-specific configuration is in config/$DIST (e.g. config/stretch).

Profile-specific configuration is in config/$DIST-$PROFILE (e.g. config/stretch-raspbian).

Load order is (each file is included from _all.m4):

1. config/$DIST-$PROFILE/file.m4 (if exist)
2. config/$DIST/file.m4 (if exist)
3. config/default/file.m4
